Rising proudly amidst the picturesque Chuy Valley, this iconic minaret beckons travelers to embark on a journey through time.

About

Burana Tower stands as a majestic testament to the ancient history and rich cultural heritage of Kyrgyzstan. Dating back to the 11th century, Burana Tower once formed part of the ancient city of Balasagun, a flourishing hub along the Silk Road. Its imposing structure, reaching a height of around 25 meters, captivates visitors with its intricate brickwork and elegant design. As visitors ascend the spiral staircase within the tower, they are transported back in time, imagining the bustling markets and vibrant trade that once thrived below. At the top, breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape unfold, offering a glimpse into Kyrgyzstan's natural beauty. Surrounding the tower, the remnants of the ancient city come to life through scattered stone foundations and remnants of structures, inviting exploration and discovery. Visitors can wander among the archaeological ruins, imagining the daily lives of those who inhabited this historic site centuries ago. Beyond its historical significance, Burana Tower holds cultural significance as a symbol of resilience and endurance. Despite centuries of wear and tear, the tower still stands tall, a testament to the enduring spirit of the Kyrgyz people.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!
